kenmore 80 series wont drain

i have a direct drive model #110.28812790 washer that will not drain. It would drain and enter spin cycle a few times, by shutting the unit off for 20 minutes. now it will not drain at all, thus not letting it enter spin cycle. What would be causing this?

for a couple days it wouldnt drain or spin unless we let it sit off for 20 mins. it sounded like it wanted to engage but wouldnt. after letting it sit off, then turning the machine back on, it would drain and spin. now it still makes the sound like it wants to engage but will not drain or spin, even after letting it sit off.

once it reaches spin cycle, it makes a buzzing/humming noise, at which point we shut it off. Did not want to inflict further damage. I have not let it continue advancing after hearing this noise. Thought it would start draining, once it reached spin cycle.
